1. Ruffle
Young (5 months 30 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 39 mi from Palmer


Hi, my name is Ruffle a
nd I'm about 6 months old. I was found stray with my 2 siblings and surrendered to Bond County Humane Society so we can find loving furever homes. I have beautiful calico fur. When I first came to the shelter, I was really scared of everything and everyone. Eventually I learned that people were great for cuddles, pets, and especially food! I might take a little while to get used to you, but when I do I will want to sit on your lap. Oh...I do like playing with any other cats, so if you have a feline buddy for me to hang out with, that would be a wonderful bonus!
